Your second task is to create a time line for your basic background knowledge of the history of US Immigration. This time line will help you generalize the period of immigration and a sort of idea of important dates of high level of immigration called "immigration waves."
-Individually, students will investigate American immigration and create a timeline using Power Point and wikispaces.
-The timeline will need to include at least 8 important dates relevant to American immigration from 1850-1960. 6 of the dates need to be times when large waves of different groups of people immigrated.
-After you completed your timeline you need to briefly explain why this date was important to conclude. This writing can be done within Power Point.
